Im not a fan of half year cycles. I think it costs too much and from research it seems like if you go that route you have to bridge to keep from loosing most your gains instead of trying to normalize your HTPA. But im not a fan of real short cycles either. I have done a couple 8 & 10 week cycles and I think for me that is just about the time when I start to see dramatic results in strength and muscle tone. The weight comes slower after the first few weeks but that is when I feel I start to hammer out real muscle gains.
Is this how things work for everyone else as well???
